Two days after the Special Session of Parliament ended, Congress and BJP were caught in a war of words over the new building, which was used for the first time since its inauguration in May. If architecture could kill democracy, Congress communications chief Jairam Ramesh said, then the Prime Minister has already succeeded. BJP president J.P. Nadda hit back, labelling the Congress as an “anti-Parliament” party.
The new building, designed by Gujarat architect Bimal Patel, was inaugurated on May 28 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but stood idle through the monsoon session, with no explanation from the government on why the session was not held at the new venue.
